[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 208577, member: 8247"]It needs to be re-iterated, Measuring diameter to 4 significant digits is probably the only way to make an educated decision on authenticity. I personally will not accuse anyone of fraud, but the measurement is needed to discriminate between and error and one that lost it's inscription due to "normal" wear (even if the wear was accelerated somehow). As for location, it's possible that people outside of Florida find these. I live in the midwest, but had my sister send me 10 rolls because you can never find a philadelphia coin around here. Imagine my surprise when I found some 50 of these coins. I asked my sister to send me full boxes this time to clear out her bank that she works at.
